New York. Wow. 

I knew going in that today was going to be my favorite, but I had no idea just how much it would fill my heart. From the moment Frank Sinatra wished me well over the Verrazano, I was completely encapsulated by the energy and passion of the city and the fans. For 26.2 miles, every hair on my arms stood up. I had chills with every step. Not because I was cold…but because of the deafening and overwhelming love and cheering from everyone on the sidelines. My legs may have kept me moving forward, but the city made me fly. 

For the past seven weeks, I have fallen back in love with running, with racing, and with the marathon…but nothing could have prepared me for what I felt today. It was my fastest. It was my funnest. It was my favorite. Which is exactly what I wanted. Delivering on all of your goals in a marathon is never guaranteed…but today, I made myself proud. 

I have so many more things to say, I have so many more people to thank, and I have so many more feels to share…but for now I’m making room for champagne and fries. 

Just as I have always said, I love you New York.
